The Kyuyutingde (Russian: Кюютингдэ)[1] is a river in Yakutia (Sakha Republic), Russia. It is a tributary of the Olenyok with a length of 138 kilometres (86 mi) —196 km (122 mi) including the Debengde at its head— and a drainage basin area of 3,420 square kilometres (1,320 sq mi).[2] It flows north of the Arctic Circle across a desolate area of Bulunsky District devoid of settlements and joins the Olenyok in its final major bend, where it begins to head northwards until the Laptev Sea.[3]

The river gives its name to the Kyuyutingde Formation, a dolomite geological formation in the Olenyok Uplift.[4]
